Extend

Build reusable nodes for the systems your institution actually runs.

Extend gives authorized administrators a controlled development area for institution-specific Source and Destination connectors that can become reusable building blocks in SchemAlign pipelines.

Institution-specific capability

Do not let the connector catalog define the edge of the platform.

Use supported connectors where they fit. When a local API, file pattern, database, or specialized workflow needs something different, Extend provides a structured path to add that capability.

01

Build custom Source nodes

Create reusable Source connectors for institution-specific systems and input patterns that need to bring data into a pipeline.

02

Build custom Destination nodes

Create reusable Destination connectors for institution-specific delivery patterns and downstream services.

03

Reuse instead of reimplementing

Once a connector is ready for use, teams can work with it as a repeatable pipeline building block rather than recreating the same integration logic.

Structured extension workflow

  • Authorized administrative development
  • Documented connector patterns
  • Sandboxed development and testing
  • Administrative review before operational use
  • Reusable Source and Destination patterns
Extension with guardrails

Custom does not have to mean unmanaged.

Extend is intended to give technical teams a practical escape hatch for local requirements while keeping custom connector development inside a defined SchemAlign workflow.

That makes institution-specific integration work visible and reusable instead of leaving every gap to one-off scripts outside the platform.

Built-in + custom

Start with the supported catalog. Extend only where you need to.

SchemAlign continues to expand supported connectors. Extend complements that catalog by giving teams a controlled option for requirements that are local, specialized, or not yet represented by a built-in connector.

Practical extensibility

Keep local integration knowledge inside the workspace.

Custom nodes can capture institution-specific connection behavior in a form that other authorized pipeline builders can recognize and reuse.
